This is a silent comedy short that is just okay--he and co-star Buster Keaton went on to do much better shorts, but it still is entertaining even though it is a pretty forgettable film.
Fatty is a well-to-do doctor. The film starts with him taking his son (Buster) and his wife to the horse races. There, Fatty's eyes wander to another woman. Little does he know that she and her boyfriend are thieves.
Later, through some tough to believe coincidences, the woman steals Fatty's wife's necklace. Fatty dresses like a cop and eventually the day is saved and he manages to win a wad of cash on a long-shot at the track. His reward is having his wife yell at him.
The film has a few pratfalls and that's really about it.
